Free
and open to all, our popular Public Space Potlucks gather urban enthusiasts of
all ages and backgrounds together for a shared meal, temporarily transforming
New York City’s public space into a communal dining room.

Launched
in 2008, Public Space Potlucks were initially inspired by architects Zack
McKown and Calvin Tsao, who threw a dinner party in the center of the Brooklyn
Bridge one summer. Through the years, the Potlucks have steadily gained a
following and taken place in diverse locations like the Grand Concourse, the
Staten Island Ferry, Roosevelt Island and underneath the BQE, to name a few.
